Narrative
The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
B. Represent and interpret data.
C. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
D. Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures.
E. Describe and compare measurable attributes.
F. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.
G. Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
H. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.
I. Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.
J. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
K. Tell and write time.
L. Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
M. Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.
N. Work with time and money.
O. Relate addition and subtraction to length.

problem_activity: Problem 1
Akilah is running for seventh-grade class president. There are 100 students in the seventh grade at her school. To better understand her chances of winning, Akilah asks a random sample of 20 seventh graders if they plan to vote for her. In her sample, 12 out of the 20 students said they planned to vote for her. Akilah asks several friends to also ask a random sample of 20 students. Together, they combine their results to get a better understanding of her chances of winning. After winning the election, Akilah finds out that 55 out of the 100 seventh graders at her school voted for her.
Using the situation above, define and describe the following terms:
a.   sample
b.   population
c.   sample proportion
d.   population proportion
e.   sample distribution
Problem 2
All two hundred middle school students at Roosevelt Middle School responded to several survey questions, and the results were combined in a table which your teacher will share with you.
The first column represents a unique student ID number for each student. The last column represents students’ responses to the question “Which of the following superpowers would you most like to have: invisibility, super strength, telepathy, fly, or freeze time?”
The class wants to determine the proportion of Roosevelt Middle School students who choose freeze time as their superpower.
a.   In your group, use the random number table to collect a random sample of 20 student responses to the superpower question. Record your data in a table.
b.   Determine the sample proportion for your sample.
c.   Will the other groups in your class have the same sample proportion as you? Explain your reasoning.
d.   Collect the sample proportions from the class and present the distribution in a dot plot. According to the dot plot, what is a good estimation for the population proportion? What is a good estimation for the number of students who chose freeze time as their superpower?
Problem 3
This diagram shows some trees in a tree farm. The circles show old trees and the triangles show young trees. Tom wants to know how many trees there are of each type, but he says it would take too long to count them all one by one. (Note, there are 50 columns and 50 rows in the diagram.)
[IMG]
a.   What method could he use to estimate the number of trees of each type? Explain your method fully.
b.   On the
Counting Trees Worksheet
, use your method to estimate the number of old trees and young trees.
